Episode 30 – Murder Lake and A Game of Thrones

Mike’s a little giddy, because he’s been proved right on the whole diet soda thing by no less an authority than… SCIENCE. On the history segment, he talks about Lake Nyos–the most murderingest lake ever. Mike toots his own horn for a while at the Gaming Table, talking about his own game Pariah. The Book Report finally gets to A Game of Thrones, and black holes dominate our Science Corner. All this before R2 makes his appearance: on the Pod-O-Matic, there’s Clu Clu Land, Eddie Munster, Mike’s curriculum for Nerdity 101, and John Carpenter the RPG… plus so much more. If you can only have one podcast episode on a desert island… this is the one!

Enjoy!
